6. ANALYSIS
1. Was there a variety of assessment methods used by the teacher?
How relevant was/were the assessment method/s used?
Answer:Yes, there was variety of assessment methods used by the teacher, from
storytelling, oral questioning, pen and paper test or quiz , performance test and
implementing exercises . Assessment tools was being used by the teacher to
assess students learning from the lesson that was being discussed and the
assessment tools were said to be relevant for it was based from the instructional
objectives.
1. Do you think the expected students’ learning behaviours indicated in the
objectives were property and appropriately assessed through those
assessment methods?
Answer: Yes, Since the methods used are seen to be effective, the assessment
was said to be valid, reliable and attainable, the process of acquiring
knowledge is visible, based with the results, I could evaluate that
instructional objectives are well attained by the students.
7. MY REFLECTIONS:
Assessment is a vital tool used by the teacher in determining the nature of extent
of students learning and development. Thus, it is very important thing to
consider the appropriate assessment tools.
As a teacher, assessment should be valid and reliable. Valid to the point that it
measures what it supposed to measure, the type of assessments should be based on
the instructional objectives.
The teacher should use various assessment tools to come up with a more
reliable assessment. The assessment used should measure the learners
understanding or knowledge about the lesson which the teacher presented. A
teacher must choose assessment that can be attained by the learners. Teacher
should know the nature of learning of the students. In choosing an assessment it
must be clear . It should be simple and specific.
Base on my observations the teachers are good enough that they manifested such
assessment tools that are well attained by their students.
As one principles of teaching, states that the quality of learning attained by the
students depends on the quality of learning done by the teacher.
